For me, it's physical dice all the way. I've got gobs of them, plus a cool dice arena tray from Forged Dice Co., so why not roll them? When I play online, I don't care what my fellow players/GMs do: digital, physical, whatever. I still vastly prefer rolling my physical dice, but if the VTT...

I was just invited back to discuss the scenario we used for the one-shot, ALIEN RPGs and their history, as well as the movie ALIEN: Romulus and the ALIEN franchise across all media! If you're up for a spoiler-filled discussion between 4 nerds, check it out!

Xenomorphs weren't worse than people.

I got to run a game for the Enter The Nerdom podcast, along with special guest Dan Mason: this time it was ALIEN The Roleplaying Game! Here’s where you can find Enter The Nerdom Ep. 46 – Alien RPG Tabletop; if you don’t see your favorite podcast venue of choice, check again in case I missed...

Death In Space Vast Grimm, a Mork Borg spin-off I've actually combined both and run Traveller with it, because I never liked Traveller's rules. It went extremely well, and we had two scenarios that had a very ALIEN-like feel to them.

The Gamemastering section of Dungeon World, followed by Shadowdark, and distantly B/X, and then even more distantly the 4E DMG 1 and 2. Outside of D&D-derived games, Star Wars d6 both 1e rulebook and 2e Gamemaster's Guide, and various Cortex RPGs are really strong. They do a better job of...

From that list, I only backed: Shadowdark Humblewood Shadowdark is my go-to D&D game now, enhanced with Knave 2E, Errant, Pirate Borg, and the Hexcrawl Toolbox to extend it beyond the dungeon. Humblewood was really cool in theory, but by the time I got it in my hands I was burnt on furries...

Is The Lost City "complete," in that there's not a cut off where lower levels are mentioned and they are telling you to map them out and stock them? Is there a big boss battle setup with Zargon or is that left more as a possibility but not something really detailed/set on the existing adventure map?

Sarcasm. Move along! 😄

Same, but I gotta say I find it extremely amusing that we are going from "watching people sit around a table and play a game in their imagination" to "watching people sit around a table and stare at their laptops."

How many more mistakes do they have to make before people stop thinking they haven't revealed who they are telling us they are? ;)

Based on their actions in times where they've been (theoretically) fully staffed up, I'd argue it's unlikely that this has to do with senior staff being missing and more an issue of an organization run poorly regardless of their headcount or quality of employees.

Appreesh! I'm not on the socials so much. (At all, really.)

Source? I don't think we should ever again accept WOTC doing something nice goes unsourced. (No offense meant, @Paramandur, as I feel like you post quality stuff, but WOTC has been exceptionally vile for years.)

Don't lie about what you're playing. But if you want the closest to 4E that 5E can get, use the following: Level Up Adventurer's Guide Tome of Heroes (Kobold Press) Flee Mortals 4E DMG 1 and DMG 2 (primarily for Skill Challenge ideas and terrain effects) Make up magic items as-needed, using 4E...

Anyone know how the cheaper POD options work with regard to the sticker/achievement systems in the book?

Not nearly enough of us.

Blind packs are the worst.

I wish I had the space to accommodate buying things I won't use. This and several other Free League games are among the most beautiful releases I've ever seen.

Circling back to the start of this thread, I highly recommend PF Pawns. I bought a few boxes, but when I want to do some wargaming type stuff, I knew I needed MOAR! More goblins, more zombies, that kind of thing. So I went on eBay and lo and behold you can get them STUPIDLY CHEAP. If you aren't...
